Generally, fighting in the NHL has lost its luster. But every so often, there's a bench brawl or someone lands a blow so sinister we can't ignore.

Such was the case as the Ducks smoked the Flyers 6-2 in Philadelphia Tuesday. An even worse beatdown came in the first period when Ducks defenseman Kevin Bieksa squared off with Radko Gudas for a veritable heavyweight bout and channeled his inner Superman, landing a single, ruthless leaping punch clean to Gudas' face that sent him to the ice.

As many pointed out, it's not often hockey players pull off the feat. This is something usually reserved for mixed-martial artists. The WWE's Roman Reigns does it, too, but that doesn't really count, since, you know, it's not real.

It's even more impressive to note Bieksa has done this before - also in Philly in 2009. This time the victim was Mike Richards.
